Yu Y: Understanding the Digital
Revolution and Its Influences

Understanding the Digital Revolution and Its Influences

The global economic edifice built after World War II is a source of unprecedented prosperity. It cannot function without open and predictable international trade, and the peaceful international relations that are its foundation. The rules that enable trade are under attack. Social divisions and great power rivalry have eroded the political support for open trade. The consequence is fragmentation of world trade, its separation into blocks that advance domestic producers or favored nations nearby. These blocs are themselves often pulled apart by competing agendas. The prospects are for vastly reduced economic efficiency and - most ominously - heightened geopolitical tensions. The questions about why this is happening, how economic fragmentation will evolve, and how to respond to it, are uppermost in the minds of policymakers and businesses across the world. These are the questions that Uri Dadush seeks to answer. Since the uncertainty cannot be dispelled, it must be better managed.

Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Digital transformation is frequently presented as a technological challenge. Yet, organizations are not transformed by technology alone, but by the people who collectively interpret, adapt, and integrate digital technologies into their everyday work practices. This book argues that understanding digital transformation therefore requires moving beyond technology-deterministic and higher organization-level perspectives toward a human-centred view of change.
 Drawing on Humanistic Management, the Viable Systems Approach, and the Social Constructivism of Technology, the book develops the concept of 
 Communal Constructivism of Technology
 , a theoretical framework that explains how technological meaning is collectively constructed within firms. By emphasizing knowledge sharing, trust, participation, and collaboration, it offers a dynamic understanding of how digital technologies become legitimate, meaningful, and actionable. Addressed to scholars, students, and practitioners, this book provides both theoretical insights and practical guidance for designing digital transformation strategies in which technological innovation and human development evolve together as complementary dimensions.

Emerging Dynamics in a Digital Environment

Sustainability and Human Resource Management

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

Strategic Downgrade of Products and Services

Warum werden manche Menschen wahrgenommen, empfohlen und erinnert - während andere trotz großer Leistung unsichtbar bleiben?
Die Antwort ist kein Zufall. Sichtbarkeit ist heute ein entscheidender Erfolgsfaktor - für Unternehmer, Geschäftsführer, Führungskräfte und Selbstständige. Denn Produkte sind austauschbar, Strategien kopierbar. Menschen nicht. Wer überzeugen, Vertrauen gewinnen und langfristig Wirkung entfalten will, muss sichtbar werden.
In diesem Buch beschreibt Jochen Schweizer erstmals umfassend, wie aus einem Extremsportler, Unternehmer und TV-Investor eine der bekanntesten Personenmarken Deutschlands wurde. Er erzählt von Erfolgen und Rückschlägen, von Krisen und Neuanfängen, von Medienpräsenz und den Prinzipien, die ihn über Jahrzehnte getragen haben. Seine Erfahrungen bilden den Ausgangspunkt für eine umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, wie Sichtbarkeit entsteht und welche Bedeutung Personen- und Unternehmensmarken heute haben.

Doch das Buch bleibt nicht beim Persönlichen. Es verbindet Unternehmertum, Markenstrategie und Kommunikation und beleuchtet die Zusammenhänge zwischen Wahrnehmung, Reputation und Wirkung einer Marke.

Jochen Schweizer beschreibt unter anderem:

- warum Sichtbarkeit über Erfolg entscheidet,
- wie sich Personenmarke und Unternehmensmarke unterscheiden - und zusammenwirken,
- weshalb Authentizität wichtiger ist als Perfektion,
- wie Storytelling aus Aufmerksamkeit echtes Vertrauen schafft,
- welche Rolle Werte, Haltung und Glaubwürdigkeit spielen,
- und welche Bedeutung eine klare Positionierung für eine starke Marke hat.

Ungewöhnliche Beispiele erfolgreicher Unternehmer wie Samuel und Johannes Voetter mit ihrer Erfolgsgeschichte WIRmachenDRUCK und ein Gastbeitrag der PR-Agentur BETTERTRUST zeigen, dass Sichtbarkeit unterschiedliche Wege kennt.

Studies on Entrepreneurship, Structural Change and Industrial Dynamics

Small firms drive circular economy transitions, yet the literature treats them as a single category — SMEs — addressed by the same instruments and policies. This book argues against that homogenisation. Drawing on empirical and conceptual contributions, the chapters demonstrate that entrepreneurial agency and ecosystem structure continuously reshape one another. Owner–manager centrality functions simultaneously as capability and liability. Ecosystem embeddedness provides resource access while generating structural vulnerability. Unidirectional causal models cannot capture these dynamics. The volume advances a theoretically grounded account of co-constitution — the bidirectional feedback through which small firms navigate circular transitions. It offers an analytical framework, policy implications for meso-level intervention, and a research agenda centred on three core tensions: capability versus liability, access versus vulnerability, and unidirectional causality versus bidirectional co-constitution.&nbsp;
